Paradise of Presence: A Spiritual Companion Through the Writings of Baha’u’llah
Paradise of Presence is not a commentary—it’s a conversation. This luminous companion guide invites readers into the heart of Baha’u’llah’s mystical teachings, tracing a path from spiritual awakening to divine intimacy. Each chapter unfolds as a threshold: detachment becomes a lifeline, fairness a moral independence, prayer a daily companionship, and imagery a doorway into eternal landscapes.
Rather than explaining the text, the book inhabits it. Through poetic reflection and symbolic clarity, Alison gently guides the reader from outer belief to inner resonance. The journey moves from ego-story to soul identity, from inherited systems to spiritual individuation. Along the way, devotional practices are reframed as acts of hospitality, and metaphors become maps for the heart’s own itinerary.
The final chapters culminate in a reading of Praised be my Lord, the Most High, where the reader is no longer observing but walking the path—verse by verse, image by image—until paradise is not deferred, but breathed.
Written with reverence and emotional intelligence, Paradise of Presence offers a vision of spiritual maturity where love becomes the measure, and presence becomes the place. It is a sanctuary for seekers, a mirror for mystics, and a quiet archive for those who long to live from the inside out.
